Someone better arrest Tony Attwood and his highly distinguished research team in that case as this is what is contained on page 304 of his book, the very highly researched and regarded; 'Complete guide to Asperger's Syndrome.
CHOICE OF PARTNER
From my clinical experience and the research of Maxine Aston (2003), men with Asperger's syndrome have several positive attributes for a prospective partner. The first meeting may be through a shared interest such as the care of animals, similar religious beliefs or studying the same course. Many women describe the first impressino of their partner, who at this stage has not had a diagnosis, as someone who is kind, attentive and slightly immature; the highly desirable, 'Handsome and silent stranger.'
Children with Aspergers are often perceived as having Angelic faces, and as adults as having symmetrical facial features that are aesthetically appealing. The person may be more handsome than previous partners and considered a, 'good catch', in terms of looks, especially if the woman has doubts regarding her self-esteem and physical attractiveness. The lack of social and conversational skills can lead to his being perceived as the 'silent stranger', whose social abilities will be unlocked and transformed by a partner who is an expert on empathy and socialising. There can be a strong maternal compassion for the persons limited social abilities, with the belief that his social confusion and lack of social confidence were due to his circumstances as a child, and can be repaired over time; love will heal everything.
That's proof of my thread lines pertinence and refutation to anyone who denies this tendency exists, although, I'll grant you, there are exceptions. Not everyone in China has dark hair but most do so that we can generalise about what a Chinese person looks like without appearing racist or unrepresentative. It's the same with facial attractivenesss and Asperger's.
